Our spin threat will only be in the LOI leg of the tour. The battle between England's explosive batting lineup and India's spinners in the middle overs will determine the outcome of the ODI's. Moeen Ali is not a good player of spin seeing how he was pretty much lyon's bunny last Ashes.

Cook isn't in the team in ODIs which is where India has the greatest spin bowling pair of all time. Chahal and Kuldeep are right now as lethal as Lillee and Thompson. England will have no answer to that challenge.

His problems against Lyon were more psychological than technical. He wasn’t taking wickets and a loss of confidence fed into his batting.

Against Ashwin and Jadeja who doesnt turn the ball much.Kuldeep and Chahal are different.Especially in LOI when you have to score runs.
Also Ajith Agarkar and Kumble had centuries in England.You wont say they were good against fast bowlers, do you?

Ashwin has an excellent test record.

Agarkar and Kumble were facing English seamers, not Lillee & Thompson or the WI pace quartet. They got one century each in umpteen tests, not two in five (plus a fifty) like Moeen in India.

Either ways it’s best chance for India to win.. Most players are in their prime and we are ranked 1.. England have got out of form players or players who are past their peak.. Series is in August the weather will suit us..

ODI and T20’s are played first so team have a chance to get used to the surroundings..

If we can’t win this time we might as well stop playing over seas series altogether and just stick to bullying teams at home..

Relax England had to sweat hard to win this while India hammered them in game 1.

India is winning Game 3.

We are comfortably gonna with the 3rd T20. This is not some Aus C attack for England to score runs easily. Indian lineup is lethal even without Bumrah and they struggled to chase 148 down till the final over. Not going to be a cakewalk for English. Go India Go!

I need therapy to help me get over this humiliation by India. Now they have won by minus eight wickets. If only Root could score more than fifty. If only England could play wrist spin. If only Dhoni was not such a good finisher. Oh, the shame if it all!

So when did you come to know that Virat Kohli is the captain of Team India? After starting this thread or just recently?
